You can use only 1WORD-DMA for first generation pci chipsets. It is default setting on HARP version 2.1. (So, this version may work on old chipsets' machine.) Also, if you are using newer than triton-2 or else, you can use 4WORD-DMA, 8WORD-DMA for more performance by editting source code (eni_transmit.c). > WRT adding a traffic shaping function, I'm planning to add a sysctl > for it to cranor's driver but I won't have time to make a release > until October.

I know ENI card supports traffic shaping on its hardware (but no other cards support it). There are 8 channels for PCR timer (only PCR, so it can't support VBR service), and setting two parameters (Pr,Rate_Res) to specify PCR for each channel. But I don't know this may work fine. I'd like to know more about WRT's work for traffic shaping. Is it hardware shaping on ENI card or shaping with software or else?
